School Spirit

Though lots of school spirit is usually associated with Division I schools, there is no shortage of school pride at this Division III college. While tailgating may not occur before the big home game, and ESPN doesn’t cover the big rivalry against St. Olaf, students and faculty are proud to be Gusties. Walk into any classroom on any given day, and there will undoubtedly be more than one person wearing Gustavus paraphernalia. School spirit seems to overflow all the time, not just during bustling athletic seasons. It also seems unlikely that any school has more organizations that make their own T-shirts for just about every occasion. Simply put, people who go to Gustavus love being Gusties.
